Horlick’s is the true old man malt, but it’s impossible to find in most supermarkets. Asian markets carry it pretty often, though, and there’s always the internet. Here’s a little something I wrote about it years ago:

One of my friends is a total Sugar Monster, and every time we go get ice cream somewhere is go to order is a cookies and cream milkshake, malted. I love a Chocolate Malt myself, but this thing was literally the sweetest thing I had ever tasted, and not in a great way. At least this has more malt flavor. 

The ability to open/close the top at neighborhood driving speeds alone is worth having a power top.

That’s not actually true. It’s partly true in the case of trademarks, but not copyrights.

No, that only applies to protecting trademarks. 

Wow here’s this though:

I’ve worked at Subway. Our tuna came in big foil pouches, which upon opening looked and smelled like normal canned tuna, complete with a bit of oil. We put on plastic gloves, dumped the tuna into a bowl, dumped in mayonnaise, and squished it together with our hands.

It wasn’t disgusting. It wasn’t off-putting (although…

I’m a big fan of extra heavy mayo. It’s got better texture and flavor. The only problem is you generally have to buy it 1-2 gallons since its primarily used in food service.

Yes Guilliani made clubs and bars apply, and pay for, a “Cabaret License” which allowed more than 3 people to dance, or 3 people to perform, at a venue.

It was actually an old law that nobody enforced for years.

If you didn’t have that license, then the venue could get a fine for more than three people dancing. So a…

It is a Yiddish word so it is transliterated from another alphabet entirely and is a hybrid of German and Hebrew, so English rules aren’t relevant. Not sure about Hebrew, but pretty sure the K isn’t silent in German when followed by N.

Other countries vaccinate their chickens.

Here’s an “odd” request:

I did the Robin Sage a couple of times at Fort Bragg, which is the final test for Special Forces (not the actual training, just a support detail). This required a bunch of us to be in the woods for weeks with only MREs. Let me tell you: there’s nothing like the digestive distress one gets from eating real food after…

So - I should have said we do corn two different ways: a couple ears at once for dinner, or 14 dozen at once to stock up the deep freeze.

I do not get the ire for Erika Thompson. In my experience, almost every beekeeper has a different level of what they’re comfortable with, and some of them go into a hive with very little protection. As for the Trump-supporter claim, I’ve never seen/heard anything corroborating that, and her account shows her donating…

In Wisconsin we are grilling brats. We don’t have to google it because we already know how to do it by 3rd grade.

Poor Cena, why didn’t he just assault a young women rather than something as atrocious as acknowledging a country is a country.

If you are giving your backyard flock a salmonella vaccine, first have their waste tested to make sure you give the birds the correct vaccine or have them given both kinds or a vaccine that protects against both. Not all vets in all areas are knowledgeable about poultry and even those that are may only know the bare…

So Northeasterners eat steak 7 times a month but only 16 ounces of it? That a lot of tiny steaks.

And it as the beneficial side effect of forcing writers/creatives to create new interesting fantasy content, without constantly having to call back to or rehash the same old tropes!
